A Message from the Principal

Papago school is proud of its tradition as a neighborhood school. Our 'Home of the Panthers' has served multiple generations of families since the early 1950s, and was rebuilt in 2012 as the modern structure it is today. Papago's signature program is Computer Science, especially Coding and Robotics, and we are proud to offer this exciting opportunity in technology to all of our Kinder through 8th grade students. We have formed partnerships with ASU, Bioscience High School, Phoenix Coding Academy, CREST Academy in Paradise Valley, and Science Foundation Arizona, among others. Eight of our classrooms from Kindergarten through 5th grade are Apple 'Flipped' classrooms. Each of these teachers are equipped with a full set of iPads for the students as well as special training to bring the technology to life in the classroom and at home. In addition, all of our 6th through 8th graders have a Dell laptop computer and are engaged in daily use of technology throughout the curriculum. All of these empowering devices are in place for our adventurous Papago students to learn to their fullest potential, to explore, and to engage with our ever-changing world!
